Note that running a laptop with no battery is not necessarily a good idea - some laptops rely on the battery to act as a voltage regulator. Running a laptop without its aku pack is how I fried a RAM bank in my Toshiba T1100 a couple of years ago. I realized too late that the power supply was de

OK I will try to explain more properly. I plugged in my Laptop. Pushed down the power button and nothing happened. I cleaned up and I did not found anything leaked or broken. I think there is a problem with power supply or some circuits. I will keep finding. I have also a battery pack for that

Actually, I do use PLOP whenever I have my 2nd HD plugged in. It has Windows 2000 on it. Sometimes it's handy to use certain windows programs like Disk Management, but mostly I just leave it disconnected and use FreeDos. On Fri, Jan 8, 2021 at 5:12 PM Andrew Robins wrote: > *EDIT: USB2.0 ports

You might like to consider using Elmar Hanlhofer's "Plop" boot manager https://www.plop.at/en/bootmanagers.html to assist with booting from your native USB1.x port. It helps with working around early BIOS versions that did not permit /enable booting from USB as an option. (Have you checked you b

For what it's worth, I'm using a 1998 Intel 440BX machine. It has a Pentium II. The network adapter on the motherboard works fine, also serial and parallel ports. The only issue I have is the USB port is non-bootable. The CD drive is bootable but it is not compatible with FreeDos. I had to install

Hi Šimon, of course a 2002 Pentium with 256 MB RAM is more than enough for FreeDOS :-) Which type of apps do you plan to use it? If you want to use games, be aware that most only work with ISA soundcards. Some might work with PCI soundcards which try to be compatible, but only in old computers suc
